Chicken & Cabbage Stir Fry with Lemon Grass

IMG_20171016_100648869-01.jpeg

This is a super quick and very refreshing dish.

You need:

  • One chicken breast, boneless and cut into small pieces.
  • 200 gms of chopped cabbage.
  • Some basil leaves.
  • One or two stalks of lemongrass. Only the white part, finely diced.
  • Some shallots chopped up.
  • A few thin slices of ginger.
  • Green chilies, 2 or 3 chopped up.
  • 2 tablespoons of roasted peanut powder.
  • A teaspoon of grated coconut.

Heat coconut oil. Follow this order to cook everything without fear of burning anything.

  1. Fry the ginger, shallots and green chilies.
  2. Add the lemon grass and mix well.
  3. Add the chicken and cook till they turn white on the outside.
  4. Add the cabbage. Cook by toggling between medium and high heat. When chicken is fully cooked, the dish is almost done.
  5. Add the basil, coconut and peanut powder.
  6. Switch off the stove but keep stirring. The peanut powder has a tendency to stick to the base of the pan and burn. Stirring will avoid that.

Squeeze some lemon juice to lift the flavors a little more.
